DO I NEED A DOCTOR’S REFERRAL?

In Virginia (and now almost every other state), you NO LONGER NEED a referral to see a physical therapist. This allows us to greatly streamline the process of obtaining musculoskeletal care - you no longer need to wait for a Physician’s visit just to be told to go to PT.

Doctors of Physical Therapy are trained to screen out “red flags” such as fractures, systemic diseases, and cancer and refer to Medical Doctors as necessary.

DO YOU ACCEPT INSURANCE?

I do not currently accept insurance, as most commercial insurers force PTs to co-treat multiple patients to maintain a sustainable business model, frequently deny full coverage for services, and purposefully delay payment back to the healthcare provider.

As an out-of-network (OON) provider, I can provide a superbill or “receipt” for you upon request. If you have OON coverage, you may submit this superbill to your insurer for reimbursement if eligible.

CAN I USE A HEALTH SAVINGS ACCOUNT (HSA)?

Yes - even though I don’t accept insurance, I can accept payment from your FSA or HSA debit card.

DO YOU ACCEPT MEDICARE?

The Federal Government prohibits Physical Therapists from accepting cash payment from Medicare beneficiaries. However, Wellness Services (non-injury related services) are still available.
